Proactive Support

Proactive Support Prevents Problems Before They Happen

Most agencies wait for you to report a problem. DotStark monitors, patches, and optimises your platform continuously — whether or not an issue has been reported.

Reactive Support — What Most Agencies Offer

Wait to be told

Agencies only act when you report a problem. By then, users have already experienced the issue.

Emergency fixes

Unplanned emergency work causes delays, cost overruns, and often requires risky direct-to-production deployments.

Late security patches

Security patches applied days or weeks after release — leaving your platform exposed in the window.

No visibility

No regular reports. No insight into platform health. You only know something is wrong when it breaks.

DotStark Proactive Support

Continuous monitoring

We monitor your XbyK environment for errors, performance degradation, and security anomalies — 24/7 on Enterprise plans.

Planned maintenance windows

XbyK updates and patches applied in agreed maintenance windows — tested on staging first, zero production surprises.

Security patches in 24hrs

Critical Kentico and Microsoft security patches applied within 24 hours of release — no waiting.

Regular health reports

Monthly (Professional) or weekly (Enterprise) platform health summaries — so you always know where you stand.

Kentico 13 End of Life

Still on Kentico 13? Your Support Window is Closing

Kentico 13 official support from Kentico ends December 31, 2026. After that date, Kentico will no longer issue security patches, bug fixes, or respond to Kentico 13 support tickets at the platform level. DotStark's support plan can maintain your Kentico 13 application — but Kentico itself will provide no further platform-level assistance after the deadline.

The practical impact for businesses still on Kentico 13 after December 2026: unpatched security vulnerabilities will accumulate with no official remedy, compliance frameworks (GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2) that require supported software in your stack may be breached, and cyber insurance policies that mandate supported platforms may be invalidated. The risk is real and grows over time.

DotStark recommends using your support contract period now to plan and scope your XbyK migration. We can run both workstreams in parallel — maintaining your live Kentico 13 site under a support plan while the migration project runs alongside. Clients who start migration planning in 2025 benefit from lower costs, calmer timelines, and first choice of migration slot before capacity fills in 2026.

Kentico Silver Partner — Independently Verified

Silver Partner status is not self-reported — Kentico independently verifies our certified developer count, technical assessments, and project delivery history. When your support plan is backed by a Silver Partner, you have a direct escalation path to Kentico's own technical team when needed. No general agency can offer this.

Every Developer Holds Current Kentico Certification

Unlike agencies that carry one or two certified developers while the rest of the team is uncertified, every one of DotStark's 15 developers holds current Kentico certification. XbyK updates monthly — so DotStark requires certification renewal to keep pace. Your support issues are handled by genuinely certified engineers every time.

We Can Support Sites We Didn't Build

DotStark can take over support of any existing Kentico 12, Kentico 13, or XbyK site — regardless of who originally built it. We conduct a structured onboarding audit to understand your platform, customisations, and integrations before taking over. Clients transitioning from another agency receive a full platform handover review.

“

We highly recommend DotStark if you are looking for a high-performance team. Their professionalism and dedication to delivering premium-quality solutions are matchless. A trusted partner for all our digital needs.
